Why aren't more Hollywood actors like this guy? He really tells it like it is, damn the consequences to his career. We need to show our support for him somehow, to counter all the left-wing critics who are calling him "racist" and so forth for telling the truth about the growing Muslim menace in Europe. Read the whole thing...

He will not be working in Hollywood any time soon after this. On the other hand, I bet he does not need the work.

"This could stir up racial hatred in society. It's ignorance, he should learn more about Islam...before he makes these comments."
He did learn, and was rightly alarmed by what he found.

It's nice to find out an actor you think does good work has some conservative ideals. After I found out Tim Robbins was a flaming Lefty, I decided to not try to find out about the politics of actors I liked.

I heard an interview of him on the radio. He refers to moslems as "submissionists".

After the so-called "Hollywood expert" comments regarding the supposed failure of the Lord of the Rings & Passion of the Christ movies....who cares what they think anyway! They have proven themselves to be idiots time and time again!
This man has honor and integrity. He's going to be just fine!

Hurrah for Gimli. A Dwarf with big ideas.
Actually, Mr. Rhys-Davies is 6'1". This is one Dwarf who will not be tossed!

Very nice.

Who was that guy that wrote a book about this very thing a few years back? LOL Look for JRD to get the usual treatment by the usual suspects.

He did a great job as Gimli. I'm sorry they didn't give him better lines. The weakest aspect of the movie was to diminish the true nobility of many of the characters, as compared to the books. Faramir especially, but Gimli was made into too much of a clown. But he sure did a good job with what he was given.

Key factor here is "the Welsh-born actor". I have Welsh roots also. We are both not from the sissy London born.

Why aren't more Hollywood actors like this guy? Because they're too busy playing poker on TV, and trying to look COOL.
